Open Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Bus

Global growth of use of smartphones and tablets imposes its conditions -
residents of cities and villages have real need for high-speed mobile Internet
anywhere.

The "Open Wi-Fi" project has been implemented as part of "Smart Astana"
and has operated since 2011. The project is a city network providing open access
to the Internet.

Contemporary technological trends and pace of people's life require
access to high-speed mobile Internet anywhere. With this fact in mind, "Astana
Innovations" regularly holds activities to provide the Internet in public places
of the city.

Nowadays, within the Memorandum of Understanding, "The one capital" company,
which is the partner of "Astana innovations" JSC, has provided free access to
Internet in 24 public places of Astana. They include: square of "Baiterek"
monument, "Nurzhol" Water-Green Boulevard, "Round square" park, embankment of
Yessil River, Old town square, Astana International Airport, Railway station,
"Saparzhay Astana" bus station, "Alau" ice palace as well as restaurants and
shopping centers.

Within this project, 15 thousand people use free Internet in public places
everyday and 300 thousand people - every month.

Local entrepreneurs supported this initiative: results of monitoring of "Astana
Innovations" JSC show that all major public institutions of Astana (shopping
centers, hotels, restaurants, cafes, sports facilities, libraries) provide
clients with free Internet to increase their competitiveness.
